APV: Para Tube

Corrugated Multi Tube (CMT) - The APV ParaTube CMT consists of smaller diameter corrugated tubes aligned in parallel within a larger diameter outer shell. Because of the number of tubes within a shell, this design maximizes heat transfer surface in a given volumetric space. The CMT is ideal for heating or cooling duties of lower viscosity products or those containing whole juice cells or pulp. Regeneration is indirect, and we can provide conical tubesheet on the inlet of each module for juice with some pulp.

Features/Benefits:

  • Working temperatures up to 545°F/285°C
  • Design pressures to 871 psig/60 bar
  • Flexibility in materials of construction from carbon steel to special alloys
  • High particulate capacities
  • Can handle high viscosity products
  • Resistant to fouling
  • Robust
  • Easy maintenance

APV: Para Tube

Corrugated Quadruple Tube (CQT) - The APV ParaTube CQT is a unique design that allows significant flexibility in annulus gap to optimize heat transfer and pressure drop. It allows balancing of flow rates and pressure drop ratios between the inner and outer annulus. This feature is critical to successful heat transfer of laminar and/or non-Newtonian fluids, particularly when applying it to product-to-product regeneration.

Features/Benefits:

  • Working temperatures up to 545°F/285°C
  • Design pressures to 871 psig/60 bar
  • Flexibility in materials of construction from carbon steel to special alloys
  • High particulate capacities

APV: Para Tube

Corrugated Triple Tube (CTT) - The APV ParaTube CTT consists of a center tube concentrically positioned in a middle tube which is concentrically located in the outer tube. Stainless steel spacers are used to keep the tubes properly separated. The result is an annular space where heat transfer effectively occurs from both sides. The triple tube is generally applied to high viscosity or Newtonian fluids which may or may not contain small fibers or particulates.

Features/Benefits:

  • Working temperatures up to 545°F/285°C
  • Design pressures to 871 psig/60 bar
  • Flexibility in materials of construction from carbon steel to special alloys

APV: Para Tube

Corrugated Double Tube (CDT) - The APV ParaTube CDT consists of a single corrugated tube concentrically positioned in a larger diameter outer tube. Tube diameters vary according to flows and the size of any particulates which may be present. The double tube offers a completely unrestricted flow path down the center tube. This design makes them particularly well suited for heating or cooling products with very high pulp or fiber content, or products which contain a substantial quantity of particulates which must be processed with a minimum loss of identity.

Features/Benefits:

  • Working temperatures up to 545°F/285°C

APV: Direct steam system

he APV direct steam heating process offers a high degree of flexibility in terms of sterilization of a wide range of products such as milk, cream, custards, ice cream mix, baby food, milk concentrates and similar products.

Direct steam heating can be applied in two ways:

* Steam infusion

* Steam injection

Each has its own specific applications, depending on product properties and quality requirements.

APV: Plate Evaporators


During the plate evaporation process, liquid is pumped between thin plates with the heating medium on the mating surfaces. The product is then evaporated with the vapor generated forming a high velocity core. This expansion in volume causes a high-velocity, thin film on the heat exchange surface providing efficient heat transfer.

Plate evaporators should be considered for applications that have:

  • Capacities up to 27,000 kg/h water removal
  • A need for future expansion
  • Limited head space
  • A particle size smaller than 600 Micron.

Features/Benefits:

  • Improved product quality. The short heat contact period resulting from single pass operation and low liquid holdup eliminates product deterioration even when highly heat sensitive liquids are involved. The resulting concentrate is of the highest quality possible.
  • Higher product concentration. The variety of plate evaporators available from APV allows custom concentrates to be produced. Ninety seven percent total solids or better are possible depending on feed material characteristics.
  • Low liquid holdup. Very little product is actually in the plate evaporator at any time. This permits rapid start-up and shutdown with minimal waste. Small quantities of product may be processed economically.
  • Easily cleaned. All stainless steel surfaces within the plate packs are fully accessible for easy cleaning. Normal CIP is done with low consumption of cleaning chemicals due to the low liquid holdup.
  • Flexible capacity. By simply adding or removing plate units, varying evaporation rates may be achieved. Large expansions are possible with additional frames and plate units.
  • Low installation costs. Due to the compact size and low weight, no cranes or special foundations are required for installation. Typically, an existing building on site is suitable and installation time is minimal.

APV: Scraped surface heat exchanger

APV scraped surface heat exchangers (SSHE) consist of a jacketed cylinder with a rotating dasher holding rows of scraper blades. The product is pumped through the cylinder while the heating or cooling medium is circulated between the cylinder and the jacket. The medium can be steam, water or a refrigerant such as ammonia or freon.

APV: All-Welded Plates (Hybrid)

Functionality

The APV Hybrid plate heat exchanger design has no dead spots and provides very efficient heat transfer at low pressure drop values to ensure that it functions at a very accurate temperature. The plate side flow and the tube side flow are arranged in cross flow configuration in one or multiple passes over the plates. The plate pattern forms elliptical tube channels on the tube flow side and wave flow passage on the plate side. The depth of the plate pressure can be increased in order to allow greater flow rates or reduced pressure drop for the passage of larger particles. This functionality provides an optimal design for many process requirements and is achieved by enlarging the diameters of the elliptical tube channels, while maintaining the plate distance on the plate flow side. It is also possible to achieve a wide-gap condition on the plate flow side by welding the plates further apart. The APV Hybrid plate heat exchanger can be designed for a pressure range from full vacuum to 60 bar.

Like all our products, the APV Hybrid plate heat exchanger conforms with the quality assurance norm ISO 9000.

Features/benefits:

  • Operational temperature range between -328°F and 1652°F ( -200°C and 900°C )
  • Pressure range between vacuum and 871 psig/60 bar
  • Fully welded construction (no gaskets)
  • Broad range of construction configurations
  • Compact design allows the installation of up to 6000 m� heating surface per unit
  • Economic use of materials and low weight
  • Exchange surfaces with plate thickness between 0.5 and 1.0 mm
  • Available in a variety of high grade alloys
  • Very efficient heat transfer even at low pressure drop
  • Self-cleaning effect by means of strong turbulence, no dead spots in the flow
  • Works as gas or liquid exchanger, condenser or evaporator
  • Low filling charge and short length of stay protects the product
  • Possible to achieve very accurate temperature approaches
